Spain imposes its own border checks on Italy, which refuses to back down
Madrid gave Rome until 9 August to lift the checks imposed on 1 August, then acted: controls on travellers from Italy until 7 September. Italy extended its own.

On August 2 the Workers' Party formally nominated Lula, 80, for a fourth term against Flavio Bolsonaro. "I have the energy I had at 30," he said. From Buenos Aires, Milei calls him "a thief"; from Santiago, the same bid reads as a bulwark against the far right.

On July 4, 2026, Pope Leo XIV traveled to Lampedusa, the epicenter of the Mediterranean migration crisis, to honor migrants who died at sea and to call on Europe to shoulder an 'epochal responsibility.'
